About Cannon

Meet Cannon! This handsome boy has been with us for far too long after arriving as a stray with a friend. It seems he spent several months roaming before finding his way to us. Cannon is quite shy and takes time to build trust with new human companions. However, he has a wonderful rapport with other dogs and is often the first to welcome new arrivals, displaying a calm demeanor while showing them the joys of play in the yard. At around 5 years old, Cannon is a mix of German Shepherd and has been neutered and is up to date on vaccinations. While this gentle soul may take a few meet-and-greets to really come out of his shell, once he feels comfortable, he shows incredible loyalty and affection. If you're interested in welcoming Cannon into your home, reach out to the Humane Society of the Ochocos to schedule a meet and greet!
